I have to share this because I am so proud of my self for making dinner for my entire family for just about $4.00!
~ Menu ~
Breaded Crispy Pork Loin Chops
Steamed Green Beans
Mashed Potatoes w/ Gravy
Stuffing
How you ask? Well...this week, my Giant Eagle grocery store had whole pork tenderloins for $1.67 per pound, you know I picked up two ($20 total). I managed to get roasts (2) and chops (36) into 8 meals, plus extra for city chicken. Birdseye Steamfresh vegi's were $1.00, but mine were free after double coupons. I bought a box of Instant Potatoes at the Save-A-Lot for $1.38. Used it to bread the chops and make the side dish. While I was at the Save-A-Lot, I also grabbed a box of CornBread Stuffing for $.88. My gravy was left over from the super fantastic roast I made on Saturday. That dinner was even cheaper because my roast was free last week!
- Pork Chops $ 2.50
- Green Beans .00
- Stuffing .88
- Potatoes .65
- Dinner was $ 4.03

Then you really don't want to know about my super cheap secret tuna casserole recipe! LOL!
We DO NOT like tuna so no I would not like it, lol.
Would you eat it here or there?
Wow! That is awesome! You go girl! You can teach us all a thing about frugality, that is for sure :)
I like to watch when meat is marked down because the date is at the end. I buy alot and repackage it at home and date it and freeze it. Cheap meals ready when you are.
Wow! Good job!

Well I have nothing to say, besides I am jealous, lol. I have tried to get cheap meals, but it so does not work. UGH. Thanks for sharing though.
